Reframing enterprise architecture
Reframing enterprise architecture
How and why to expand EA scope beyond IT
About the Book
This anthology from the Tetradian weblog explores why we need to expand enterprise-architecture from its IT-centric roots into a true whole-of-enterprise scope and scale, and how to do this in architecture-practice.
This book includes about 40 posts and 95 images from the weblog. These posts are split into six groups:
- Selling EA - describes how to present to potential clients the full role and value of enterprise-architecture.
- Saving EA - provides a structured review of challenges and failure-points that limit the use of mainstream enterprise-architectures beyond IT.
- Reframing EA - explores practices and themes that would need to be addressed in a whole-of-enterprise architecture.
- The No-Plan Plan - presents a summary of content required for whole-enterprise architecture.
- Whole-EA Standard - outlines the structure and content for a proposed standard for whole-enterprise architecture.
- The Big-Picture - assesses what would be needed to extend whole-enterprise architecture to a fully global scope and scale.
